Promenades en Provence (Audio CD) Simon Nieminski

In this rare and unique recording, Simon Nieminski plays the entire volume of Promenades en Provence, by the French impressionist / modern organ music composer, and contemporary of Marcel Dupré, Eugène Reuchsel. The Kilgen organ at the spacious Cathedral of St. Louis is the setting for this acclaimed CD. Also on the program are two movements from Mr. Reuchsel’s Bouquet de France for organ.

American Record Guide This is a splendid release. …There is plenty of variety here… The baby-faced photo of the performer belies a maturity of approach and technique. He lingers where needed and articulates clearly enough to avoid the muddiness so often encountered in reverberant spaces (about 6 seconds here). These are colorful tapestries cast in late 19th Century harmony with frequent touches of impressionism performed with taste and sensitivity. There is a lot of poetry here. – Metz
